The Pinky Promise

August 18th, 2023

It all started like many relationships do in our generation…screen to screen with nothing but a couple pictures and silly prompts. A mere miss of a swipe for differing stature preferences on Caitlyn’s end (not her finest moment) and there would be no story to tell. When Caitlyn saw this handsome man’s face, his career ✈️ and that he looked to be good with kids, she decided to swipe RIGHT on Mario! His pick up line was telling Caitlyn that his company flys to Horseshoe Bend (seen in one of Caitlyn’s pictures) and that he really wants to go so maybe they could go together! Side note: that still hasn’t happened yet, but Caitlyn is hopeful once her benefits kick in 😉 Anyways, the two talked for about a week before deciding to go on their first date. Mario made the call that he was going to be a few minutes late (he hates being late) so Caitlyn waited in front of Bartaco until he arrived. Mario saw Caitlyn from across the street and immediately was blown away by how beautiful she looked in her green polka dot sundress. His smile was contagious and she felt butterflies when they hugged and he pulled her to the inside of the sidewalk to keep her safe. Bartaco was packed, so the two decided to walk to 12 South Taproom for lunch. After lunch, they decided to get dessert at Jeni’s Ice Cream next door. The date was going so well, neither of them wanted it to end. Caitlyn already had plans to go to Arrington Vineyards, so she asked Mario if he wanted to join. Although he was trying to play it cool, Caitlyn knew he was excited for the invitation. After a glass of wine (or two), listening to live music, laughing about how Caitlyn almost didn’t swipe right because Mario was a few inches shorter than her (previous) preference…then came the pinky promise. Caitlyn was having such a GOOD time, she made Mario pinky promise that he would never leave her. I think in her mind she was thinking for the day LOL After what felt like a lifetime to Caitlyn, Mario is still holding true to his promise♥️
